Salt Lake City, UtahBi-Weekly006: Let It Go – The Power of Forgiveness with Chris Williamshttps://cozgreen.com/006-let-it-go/

<p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://cozgreen.com/006-let-it-go/">006: Let It Go – The Power of Forgiveness with Chris Williams</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://cozgreen.com">Coz Green</a>.</p>Coz shares his insight about the power of forgiveness and challenges you to let it go. Forgiveness allows you to free yourselves from being held captive in the prison of your past. We when don’t freely forgive ourselves and others, we are held back by the negative emotions that apply the brakes to our lives. We cannot discover lasting hope until we release the brakes and simply, let it go.

Forgive yourself for every stupid, brainless, selfish, and wicked thing you have ever done. The seeds of hope cannot grow when polluted by guilt, shame, embarrassment, and regret.

Forgive your parents for whatever they did or didn’t do. Your parents did the best they could with who they were in their circumstances and the abilities and resources they had at the time. Are you holding on to “something” from your childhood? Let the blame go and free yourself from being a victim.

Forgive everybody else. If you are harboring ill will towards someone or seeking revenge, you are literally stopping your progress towards the best version of you. When you let go, you leave your baggage of the past behind and you can now look forward to the future with more hope.

Inspirational Interview with Chris Williams: On a cold February night in 2007, a devoted father of four and a seventeen-year-old drunk driver both received life sentences. In one violent, devastating instant, both faced a drastically different—and uncertain—future. But as Chris Williams sat in his car that had just caused the death of his wife, his unborn baby, his eleven-year-old-son, and his nine-year-old daughter, he committed to do something extraordinary; he would forgive. That decision launched Chris on a journey toward healing that impacted his family and friends, the young man who had caused the accident, and an entire community—a community that would face another deadly tragedy just a few days later. Chris’s message of empowering forgiveness is an invitation to all who have suffered, however unjustly, to lay down their burdens and let it go.(From the inside dust cover of the book, “Let It Go.”)

Carrie has been blessed with the talents of music and performance. She is humbled by the gift she has been given to spread God’s love through music. Carrie was asked to sing this particular song at a funeral. While coming up with this arrangement on her guitar, she fell in love with the words, and “Jesus, Lover of My Soul” quicklybecame her favorite hymn. She has expressed the very same emotions many times to her Savior when her own life has seemed too deep and treacherous to wade through.

Episode Two Show Notes:

Article About Robin Williams Cited in the Podcast:

Marin County sheriff’s Lt. Keith Boyd, the assistant chief deputy coroner, said there was no evidence of foul play in the death of the 63-year-old performer who was beloved for his rat-a-tat delivery and warm personality, but who had struggled with cocaine and alcohol addiction and severe depression.

Boyd said Williams was last seen alive at 10:30 p.m. Sunday when his wife, Susan Schneider, went to bed. His personal assistant became concerned about 11:45 a.m. Monday, Boyd said, after Williams failed to answer knocks at his door.

The assistant eventually managed to open the door and found Williams clothed, in a seated position and “with a belt secured around his neck, with the other end of the belt wedged between the clothes closet door and the door frame,” Boyd said. “His right shoulder area was touching the door, with his body perpendicular to the door and slightly suspended.”

Williams was “cold to the touch,” Boyd said, and rigor mortis had set in. Forensic scientists say it takes three or four hours for rigor mortis to begin after death.

Investigators found superficial cuts on the inside of Williams’ left wrist, and recovered a pocketknife with its blade closed and what looked like dried blood on it, Boyd said. The cause of death was “asphyxia due to hanging,” according to preliminary results of an autopsy. Williams’ children did not mention their father’s depression or his struggles with chemical dependency, but [daughter] Zelda made reference to dark times and an inability to find peace.

“He was always warm, even in his darkest moments,” she said. “While I’ll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay, there’s minor comfort in knowing our grief and loss, in some small way, is shared with millions. It doesn’t help the pain, but at least it’s a burden countless others now know we carry.”

Coz will introduce you to the seven principles of hope that he has rediscovered. And finally, he will discuss two primary enemies of hope and how to reduce them in your life.

The King’s Highway

Once a king had a great highway built for the members his kingdom. After it was completed, but before it was opened to the public, the king decided to have a great contest. He invited as many of his kingdom that wished to participate. The contest was to see who could travel the highway best.

On the day of the contest the entire kingdom showed up. Some of them had fine chariots, some had fine clothing, fine hairdos, or great food. Some young men even came in their track clothes and ran along the King’s new highway. People traveled the highway all day, but each one, when he arrived at the end, complained to the king that there was a large pile of rocks and debris left on the road at one spot, and this got in their way and hindered their travel.

At the end of the day, a lone traveler completed his journey and wearily walked over to the king. He was tired and dirty, but he addressed the king with great respect and handed him a bag of gold.

He explained, “I stopped along your highway to clear away a pile of rocks and debris that was blocking the road and holding everyone back. This bag of gold was under it all, and I want you to return it to its rightful owner.”

The king replied, “You are the rightful owner.”

The traveler replied, “Oh no, this is not mine. I’ve never known such wealth.”

“Oh yes,” said the king, “you’ve earned this gold, for you won my contest. He who travels the road best is he who makes the road smoother for those who will follow.”

Marianne Williamson Quote:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

“Someday Isle” – by Denis Waitley

There is an Island fantasy called “Someday Isle” I’ll never see;
Recession stops, inflation ceases,
My mortgage is paid and my pay increases;
Someday I’ll where problems end
Every piece of mail is from a friend;
The children are sweet and already grown
Where all the other countries can go it alone;
We all retire at forty-one
playing backgammon in the island sun.
HAPPINESS cannot be sought
It can’t be owned, it can’t be bought;
Where you are right here, right now,
pushing the pencil, or pushin’ the plow.

Life’s most important revelation
is that happiness is the journey
as least as much as the destination.
It’s knockin’ on doors and makin’ your calls,
it’s getting back up after your falls.
It’s going to school and standing in line,
It’s tasting defeat. And tasting the wine.

I’ve been trudging through life
going mile after mile,
but I’ll never set foot on “Someday Isle.”
I’ve paid all my dues and put in my time
and out of nowhere. . .another Mount Everest to climb;
I’ve decided today to make it my vow
to take “Someday Isle” and make it. . .NOW!

Christopher Reeve Quote:

“Once you choose hope, anything’s possible.”

The King's Highway
Once a king had a great highway built for the members his kingdom. After it was completed, but before it was opened to the public, the king decided to have a great contest. He invited as many of his kingdom that wished to participate. The contest was to see who could travel the highway best.
On the day of the contest the entire kingdom showed up. Some of them had fine chariots, some had fine clothing, fine hairdos, or great food. Some young men even came in their track clothes and ran along the King's new highway. People traveled the highway all day, but each one, when he arrived at the end, complained to the king that there was a large pile of rocks and debris left on the road at one spot, and this got in their way and hindered their travel.
At the end of the day, a lone traveler completed his journey and wearily walked over to the king. He was tired and dirty, but he addressed the king with great respect and handed him a bag of gold.
He explained, "I stopped along your highway to clear away a pile of rocks and debris that was blocking the road and holding everyone back. This bag of gold was under it all, and I want you to return it to its rightful owner."
The king replied, "You are the rightful owner."
The traveler replied, "Oh no, this is not mine. I’ve never known such wealth."
"Oh yes," said the king, "you’ve earned this gold, for you won my contest. He who travels the road best is he who makes the road smoother for those who will follow."
Marianne Williamson Quote:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
"Someday Isle" - by Denis Waitley
There is an Island fantasy called "Someday Isle" I'll never see;
Recession stops, inflation ceases,
My mortgage is paid and my pay increases;
Someday I'll where problems end
Every piece of mail is from a friend;
The children are sweet and already grown
Where all the other countries can go it alone;
We all retire at forty-one
playing backgammon in the island sun.
HAPPINESS cannot be sought
It can't be owned, it can't be bought;
Where you are right here, right now,
pushing the pencil, or pushin' the plow.
Life's most important revelation
is that happiness is the journey
as least as much as the destination.
